What the few who last actually do

  • Skip leverage, or use very little

    Borrowed money turns a normal dip into a total loss.

  • Keep most coins in their own wallet

    Exchanges have collapsed with customer money inside.

  • Keep tax records from day one

    Hundreds of trades without records means a painful tax season.

  • Ignore hype

    A coin trending on social media is often being sold by the people promoting it.

  • Have other income

    Many successful traders also build, write, code or work in the industry.
